What an experience! Fine dining with a chilled and down to earth relaxed atmosphere. Every aspect of the evening was flawless. Thank you ?

The food and atmosphere are fantastic. The chef even came out to introduce himself and one of the courses. The only reason it doesn't get 5* is because the server wrongly assumed we were celebrating my husband's PhD (rather than mine) and, upon first introduction, he ignored me and my mother in law and proceeded to shower my husband with praise. Not a big deal, he apologised once we corrected him and had a fantastic night otherwise.My husband deserves every bit of praise but people should not assume! Would give 4.7* if I could and would return for the food.

We dined at Legacy to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We both enjoy good food and fine dining, so were very much looking forward to our evening and had high expectations.To say those expectations were exceeded is an understatement, to say the least. We were blown away by every single part of our experience and can’t recommend Legacy highly enough.The food was spectacular. There wasn’t a single course that was anything other than perfect. The chefs adapted a few of the courses to accommodate our tastes without any hesitation. The sommelier was able to recommend a perfect wine and desert wine, which ended up being spot on for the food being served. The restaurant has intentionally limited the covers to make sure of a great atmosphere and it is beautifully furnished to make the host of this amazing building.As faultless as the food was, it wasn’t even the best part. The best part of the experience was Darren, who was an absolutely sensational host. He showed the perfect blend of care, attention and humour and went out of his way at every turn to make sure we had the perfect evening. Not at any point did we feel rushed or that we were putting him out. He is a true asset to the establishment.I would recommend Legacy to anyone and everyone. We hope to be back in the future and I’ve no doubt there’ll be a star or two next to its name by then.

Absolutely fantastic night at Legacy. We were looked after by Darren and Derek who were so friendly and professional. The food and wine were amazing and made for a very special night.

Can't express enough how wonderful the entire experience was.The restaurant manager said it should be as relaxed as eating in their living room and it truly was.The food was exceptional and it had the right balance in terms of quantity. We had the prestige wine pairing and it was a great choice as the wines were delicious. They truly complemented the food!The service was amazing. The two restaurant managers topped off the whole experience perfectly. They were engaging, knowledgeable and funny. Even got a great wine recommendation for our Christmas dinner!This is an expensive dinner, but for a special occasion you really do get what you pay for, an experience!

The service was fabulous – professional and efficient, but also really personable and friendly.Good atmosphere too – intimate, relaxed, classy.The food was impressive. We had the 8 course tasting menu (plus canapés) with wine pairing. Every course was excellent – great flavours, well balanced, original combinations, very enjoyable.Given the price, you expect perfection, and it almost delivered. Nearly all the food was perfect – the canapés and desserts were particular stand-outs – but there were a couple of minor shortcomings: the lobster ravioli had brilliant flavours, but unfortunately the pasta was undercooked; and the lamb tasted wonderful, but was slightly overcooked.However, these are just minor niggles – I’ve still got to round it up to a 5 star rating overall, and would definitely recommend it to others.

Bit of a spur of the moment mid-week treat, stayed at the Grand and decided to try out their Legacy Restaurant. Glad we did. Although there were only 3 other tables atmosphere was good and the two gentlemen serving were absolutely first rate. Perfect service and just the right amount of interaction, as one stated you're here to enjoy the food and atmosphere not feel uncomfortable. All course were extremely well prepared and cooked. Chef came out to explain the amuse bouche where I think he get's an opportunity to really try stuff out, really appreciated his insight. Some really unusual and interesting ingredients used throughout. The crab, celeriac and lamb dishes all stood out as did the fabulously chocolatey final desert.

Anniversary meal that we will not forget in a hurry. Every course was delicious and the wine paring was perfect. Derek was an outstanding host and sommelier, waiting staff were knowledgeable and Head Chef Ahmed and team are a very talented team of chefs. Any dietary requests were met with an alternative so you do not feel like you are missing out. Highly recommend.

Absolutely unreal experience! Food is next level however the service really elevates it (fine dining yet somehow not stuffy!). Darren and the team really make it, a truly exceptional experience from start to finish!

We had the most amazing tasting menu at Legacy on Saturday evening. Darren and Derek together with their team looked after us superbly. The food was incredible and Derek was the perfect sommelier, recommending some beautiful wines. Nothing was too much trouble at all and cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. 5 star treatment ??

Disappointing. Not only did it not live up to the expectation, but there were times when it was actually very poor - to the point of leaving several courses after a sighting nibble. Meat courses were especially bad - unsure what’s going on there but all tasted very odd. I’m sensitive to smells, and could smell the unclean table wear throughout. This and the fishy tasting chicken make me think it’s a cleanliness issue in the kitchen / pot washing department. The above issues aside - the courses were uninspiring and pretty poorly put together. Nowhere near the level expected. Wine taster also distinctly average. Left extremely unhappy - considering the boastful marketing and high expectation - without any effort by the staff to help. For a £500 meal for two, one expects far better. Fortunately I’ve experienced some outstanding restaurants around the world - but the best advice I can give legacy, is to go and sample something closer to home, and see how it’s really done. Rafters (in Sheffield) is superb and a direct comparison; similar tasting style menu, sommelier on the bottles, similar price point, northern England, etc etc. I’m several trips deep with rafters now - it’s consistently excellent and undoubtedly a million miles ahead.

The Wife and I dined here for our Anniversary the food, wine and service were amazing, Darren and Derek plus the rest of the Team were first Class ? ?

Very cool experience. There are very few tables in the space, so it was an intimate experience. Our server knew the menu inside and out, and was clearly passionate about providing the best possible evening. We enjoyed the tasting menu, and each item that came out was a conversation piece. We added the prestige wine pairing, but it *may* have been a bit too much wine for our table. All in all DEFINITELY worth it, and for us - a great way to reconnect with friends we hadn't seen in years.
